I have several little spots for organizing my teaching things. Of course I consider the atmosphere of our home one of my learning tools! I have many files saved on my computer in folders named by month--ideas for January, February, etc. A lot of people do this on Pinterest. For me it works well on my personal hard drive.
I also keep a file of real paper in our file cabinet. There is a folder for each month. I file photos from that month--ie: or Valentime card, Christmas photos, etc. and I love to get them out every year during that month. In our August file I have pictures of Beck as a newborn as well as his first bday photos. Next August we'll find a good place to put these in our home. I also file magazine ideas, printouts, recipes, etc. that correspond to certain months or seasons. I often also store artwork I might want to repost next year at the same time--Valentines the kids made, a winter picture Q painted, etc. Usually my very favorite pieces of artwork that I want to save and display yearly.
Each month at the beginning-ish of the month I get out my file and see what's inside and if I'll be using any of it that month. This is a low-maintnance strategy and it works really well for me! As you can see it's nothing fancy--my folders don't even match and are repurposed from my public school teaching days.
